Throw the Heat!

MensHealth.com reports that using simple equipment like a medicine ball and elastic resistance can increase power in your throwing shoulder. Researchers at the University of Delaware have concluded that doing these exercises for 8 weeks can increase your fastball by 2 mph. 

It may not seem like much but if you’ve ever played baseball you can probably attest that an 88 mph pitch is a little easier to hit that a 90 mph one.

Plus, the exercises will strengthen your rotator cuff and make you less prone to shoulder injuries.
